Amy Klobuchar

Shari writes: “This was a private event for the Asian & Latino Coalition, so her stump speech focused on their issues. None of the questions asked during the formal portion were related to climate, however she did bring up climate in one of her answers. After the event, we were able to ask her a question, how she could bring climate to the forefront of her campaign. She did not answer that question, but rather talked about the climate action she would take when she was president.”

Also, as reported in the Mason City Globe Gazette, Lydia Futrell, a 17-year-old student from Clear Lake, told Klobuchar that her top two issues were climate change and gun violence.”
